Why Cloud Bills Now Tax Container Image Scanning
from Cloud Computing with Fexingo: AWS, Azure, GCP, and Modern Infrastructure Conversations Hosted by Fexingo
In this episode of Cloud Computing with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dig into a surprising line item that's been creeping onto cloud invoices: charges for container image scanning. They trace the shift from free, bundled security scanning to metered per-scan fees, using a real-world example of a mid-sized fintech that saw its monthly bill spike by 23 percent after moving to a new scanning tier. Lucas explains how the pricing models work across the major providers, why the cost scales with image size and scan frequency, and how teams can avoid the shock by trimming base images, scheduling scans smarter, and using cheaper regional scanning. With a sharp focus on the numbers, this episode gives listeners a concrete way to audit their own cloud spend and negotiate better rates. Tune in for a practical, no-nonsense breakdown of a hidden cloud cost that's only going to grow. #CloudComputing #CloudCosts #ContainerScanning #DevOps #AWS #Azure #GCP #FinOps #CloudBilling #TechPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CloudSecurity #Docker #Kubernetes #CI_CD #CloudInfrastructure #CostOptimization Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
